The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper):
(Mt 16:24) Qui vult venire post me, abneget semetipsum;
et tollat crucem suam, et sequatur me (If a man wishes to

and follow me).

The motet (WAB 11) (1884) sets Phil 2:8-9 (Christus factus
est pro nobis obediens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis.
Propter quod et Deus exaltavit illum, et dedit illi nomen,
quod est super omne nomen) (Christ became obedient to death,
even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name that is above every name).
The Prelude (WAB 130) (c1846) was written for organ.
The Postlude (WAB 111) (c1861-2) is a transcription of String
Quartet in C minor, movement three "Scherzo".

Music Notes:


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper): Laetabimur in salutari tuo: et in nomine Domini Dei nostri magnificabimur (We shall rejoice in your salvation; and in the name of the Lord our God shall we place our pride).


Henry Purcell (c1659-1695) was born in London England, the son of a court musician. In his youth he was a Chapel Royal chorister, and later holder of continuing royal appointments until his early death, while also working as organist (1679-) at Westminster Abbey. He wrote music for dramas, chamber instruments, and voice.


"I Will Love Thee, O Lord" is one of several anthems written for his friend, the bass John Gostling (1644-1733). It is the Responsorial Psalm for today set to the Book Of Common Prayer translation (Psalm 18: 1-6,16-18) and uses the word "prevented" (pre-venire) in its old sense ("came before"): (SOLO) I will love thee O Lord, my strength; / the Lord is my stony rock, and my defence: / my Saviour, my God, and my might, in whom I will trust, / my buckler, the horn also of my salvation and my refuge. / I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy, is worthy to be prais'd: / so shall I be safe from mine enemies. (CHOIR) They prevented me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was my upholder. (SOLO) The sorrows of death compassed me, and the overflowings of the ungodly made me afraid. / The pains of hell came about me: and the snares of death over took me. / In my trouble I will call, will call upon the Lord: and complain unto my God. / So shall he hear my voice out of his holy temple: and my complaint shall come before / him, it shall enter ev'n into his ears. For he shall send down from on high / to fetch me, and shall take me out of many waters. / He shall deliver me from my strongest enemies, and from them which hate me: for / they are too mighty for me. / (CHOIR) They prevented me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was my upholder.
